President Joe Biden and his administration have been accused of being complicit in enabling a famine in Gaza by failing to sufficiently act on repeated warnings from their own experts and aid agencies.

The former officials say the US also provided diplomatic cover for Israel to create the conditions for famine by blocking international efforts to bring about a ceasefire or alleviate the crisis, making the delivery of aid almost impossible.

“This is not just turning a blind eye to the man-made starvation of an entire population, it is direct complicity,” former State Department official Josh Paul, who resigned over US support for the war, told The Independent.

    Don’t worry, when Trump wins we won’t have to worry about Gaza or palestinians in general!

      Stop accusing anyone who criticizes your pro-genocide candidate of supporting your pro-genocide second choice.

        Stop hiding behind this single reasoning while failing to explain why Trump would be better. Or if you’re clever: Wouldn’t be worse.

        Gaza is in a horrible situation. Biden buys us time. Trump shortens it significantly. I guarantee it. So decide: Biden, who on this issue is far from ideal, or Trump whose allies all but scream for the deaths of millions.

        It’s reality and the world is holding its breath and expecting the worst.

          Ask this kid to provide the name of someone that stands a chance to beat Trump and watch him squirm.

          He isn’t better.

          Or if you’re clever: Wouldn’t be worse.

          He would be worse.

          That doesn’t mean Biden’s position is acceptable.

            I’m tired, man. People spitting on others during a pandemic, refusing to wear masks spouting bullshit. Trump doing literally nothing except sending us backward leading into it. Anti-vaccine movements pushed by the Right and accepted by idiots who can’t critically think to literally save their lives. Biden actually making some headway and not a single individual who hides behind the Gaza conflict can list three things Biden has done well. A god damn coup attempt at our Nation’s capital. An entire world begging us to not allow Trump into power.

            Just shut up. Fuck

            You and people just like you, Trump supporters all. I no longer care. Every single one and I’m calling you out. Gaza is shit. A travesty. It sucks balls. But come the fuck on. Use your brain. Open your eyes. We have a chance for a better tomorrow with Biden. The GOP have been on the actual damn record this past month alone condemning the LGBTQ+ community, calling the fucking nuking of Japan a good choice, and trying to convince everyone that removing a woman’s autonomy is a righteous act.

            This is what YOU support. Sleep well because if Trump wins I know your ass will be nowhere to be found.

              I support Biden changing his policy regarding genocide. You’re so married to the idea of genocide that you think this is support for your second favorite pro-genocide candidate.

          I don’t care what a deliberate spoiler candidate claims his positions are.

              I want Biden to stop supporting Netanyahu’s genocide. Why is that so difficult to understand?

                Because that was the first time I’ve seen you say that.

                I’m not much of a mind reader.

                  Why do so many people immediately assume that criticizing Biden means support for another candidate?

                    Because the Right has dug in for years, chosen a target, and collectively did their best to cause as much damage as possible to everything they can. Even if it hurts them.

                    That’s why people like me assume the worst. It feels the same. Aside from that, a lot of people who are criticizing Biden are clearly rabble-rousers, another large percentage won’t vote for Biden and on the same branch will vote for Trump. All of these people are loud. Thing is, those of us with good intentions do agree that Biden has made the wrong choice so far, even if this last shipment is being forced by the Republican-controlled House, so I hope you all realize this one isn’t on him at least. The Gaza situation is shit. We know. It’s just…we also understand that Trump will do worse. Yet every damned time we try and bring this up in much the same way you’re tired of feeling as if standing up in protest of the Genocide makes you a target, we also feel the same.

                    Many of us also see the pattern. Of division. The sowing of seeds to split us apart. It happens every time and we keep paying for it.

                    Man, I just want us to come together. Get Biden into Office and keep up the momentum and push. Stand firm as one for change. For Gaza and, for once, for ourselves. Trump will never listen. Maybe Biden won’t either. At least with him though we’ll have four years to try. All we have to do for the first time in so damn long is stand united.

                    I was curious about Bobby’s views because he is in third place right now, it’s a valid question.
